instead of abspath, i had to use os.path.realpath due to my slightly
eccentric setup having a symlink from the Frameworks dir to the actual install
location (using homebrew).

I can't reproduce the problem on 10.6.2/virtualenv 1.4.5. My sys.prefix seems
normal:

$ /usr/bin/python -c "import sys;print sys.prefix"
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6

I have some issues with python version (I've build Python from source and
replaced it with system's default) and virtualenv on OSX too and as workaround
I create virtual environments with option "-p which python" and it seems to
work fine.

I get this issue with system's Python 2.5.4 on MacOSX 10.6.3 and virtualenv
1.4.8

After some digging it looks like the problem is cause by the fact that all
Python 2.5 related scripts (easy_install, virtualenv, etc.) are using
#!/usr/bin/python2.5 which is a symlink to system Python

In my case, the issue was that system python(2.6) on osx(10.6) is capitalized.
